the scene name and the scene length. Below this, there are

various settings for ‘Range’ and ‘Zoom’ to help you dene the

best possible overview for the Timeline part you are working

on.

Zoom +: Zoom into the Timeline display to improve visibility of

short clips and effects. Each click doubles the zoom area. The

time scale carries information about the currently displayed

area in seconds (s) or minutes (m).

Zoom -: Zoom out of the Timeline to improve the overall

overview of the project. If you are using long scenes, a smaller

Timeline view may be more appropriate. Each click makes the

view half as small.

‘O’: This button switches the view to 20 scenes wide, but at

a maximum of 10 minutes length of your project. The current

scene is shown in the middle.

N: This normalizes the view and the current scene uses up

about 25% of the video track space.

Range: This function is used to set an area length for display-

ing the Timeline in seconds or minutes. The time scale then

switches to the value you are using. To set the value, click into

the number ﬁeld for ‘Range’ and use the keyboard to enter a

number.

s for a range in seconds (1-60)

m for a range in minutes (only complete minutes)

number. If you enter a number without a letter, the number will

be set up in seconds per default. Also in the effect menus the

Timeline is displayed in the same way as described above. The

audio mix screen displays the audio tracks below the Timeline.

In this area, you will also ﬁnd a play button and a stop but-

ton, as well as a counter. In this area, you will also ﬁnd a play

button and a stop button, as well as a counter. This speciﬁc

play button starts playing your storyboard in a small preview

window in the top right area of the screen. This window can be

seen in your storyboard while the counter to its left indicates

the point in time of the play back. Play back is stopped with

the stop button. There is no pause function.

Play back always starts with the ﬁrst scene of the current

Timeline view, not with the currently active scene. A vertical

bar in the Timeline indicates the current position during play

back. When play back goes beyond the visible part of the

Timeline, it will scroll further in order to remain current. The

scene currently displayed is highlighted. Should you stop the

play back, the scene last displayed will remain active.

The Timeline offers a very fast method for switching over to

an effect menu. If you want to change or delete an effect in

the Timeline, click onto it directly in the Timeline itself. You

will then be transported to the respective effect menu with the

options for the effect you have selected. Activating an effect

in the Timeline also activates and highlights (with color) the

corresponding scene. The scene will also be marked by a

bright line that highlights the relation between the effect and

the scene. This is particularly useful when working with inserts.

If you are working with an insert in the Storyboard and wish to

apply a transition to it, the line will help you to see if the effect

will be positioned at the beginning of the insert (Storyboard

scene during insert sports a low line) or at the end (the scene

has a line). If this part of the scene is brightly underlined, the

transition will be placed between the marked and subsequent

scene.

Using the timeline to edit audio

In the audio mix, the Timeline is constructed in the same way

as in the other menus. Additionally, the audio tracks are being

displayed.

The top audio track is the original sound belonging to the

scene above it. If there is a transition effect between two

scenes, the crossfade will also be applied to the correspond-

ing original sound, by means of a diagonally divided range.

Positioning and manipulating audio in the Timeline menu is

generally similar to the well-known Storyboard view. Across

the entire area, the audio tracks show status bars, giving you

information (via its color) about the audio below. If the audio

is rendered, and the volume levels are adjusted correctly, it

will be shown in blue. If the audio is overmodulated, it is red.

Finally, unrendered audio is shown in yellow.

At the bottom left of the menu, there is button to switch the

view. This makes it possible to quickly switch between Time-

line and Storyboard View.

Setting up the Timeline

Setting up the Timeline is described in item 3 of Chapter 4.1

System settings.

(2) To scroll through the Storyboard, click on the slider below

the Storyboard and roll the trackball to the right or to the left.

(3) The buttons “<” and “>” next to the slider can be used to

move from one scene to the next in the storyboard, one scene

at a time.

(4) The buttons “|<” and “>|” take you to the beginning or end

of the storyboard.

(5) You can use the Play button to the

right of the slider to play the storyboard,

beginning with the selected scene until the end of the story-

board (or until you stop playing either by pressing the Stop

button which is now visible, or by clicking the right trackball

button.) In addition to a representation of a scene or the

Storyboard, sound modulation is also shown. This way, you
